Around The World in 80 Plus

On a quiet, rainy morning, I reflect on my lifelong walk with God—a journey shaped by grace, failure, and faith. From my early decision to follow Christ, through youthful mistakes, to finding grace in community and learning to live out faith across 45 countries, my story is one of pursuit and redemption. From missionary work in Ukraine to leading a business built on purpose, I’ve seen God’s hand through every season—and continue to share that journey here.

Warsaw to Krakow to Kyiv—the final stretch of my journey was anything but ordinary. From strange hostel encounters to ticket-window battles, pizza lunches in Stalin’s “gift,” and even a chess hustler in the park, the road home was filled with chaos, laughter, and unexpected lessons. Sometimes travel isn’t about where you go, but what God reminds you of along the way.

Returning to Warsaw felt like a homecoming after months of travel. The all-night train ride brought colorful encounters—a nonstop-talking extrovert, Brits, and Aussies. In Budapest, I soaked in hot springs, dodged flag Speedos, and escaped childish banter at dinner. Back in Warsaw, familiar streets, favorite soup, and even paper airplane contests on the sidewalk reminded me why this city feels like a second home before my final journey to Krakow and Kyiv.
